1887

Although his native modesty rebels against it, your Secretary, as requested by Classmate Sanborn, offers the following note. His address this winter will be care of Henry M. Lyons, 31 Ridge Croft Rd., Bronxville, N. Y.

I have been trying temporarily to provide notes about our Class—a task that for years has been done by our popular and worthy Secretary, Stanley Johnson-, but Stanley found it this year to be a slow and interrupted journey from Clearwater, Fla. back home to Bath, N. H. He didn't feel too well himself and his wife for a while became hors de combat for travelling. So he was late getting back to his garden specialties.

On his way out of the North he writes Oct. 26 from Sunapee, N. H., "My wife is now in her usual good health. We shall be here until the 15th ultimo. Then, I think, we will be in Bronxville all winter."

Last month, Rev. and Mrs. Fred E. Winn, with much festivity, celebrated the 60th anniversary of their marriage at their California home. Rev. and Mrs. Carl Corwin observed the 30th anniversary of their marriage at Tampa, Fla. For several decades Corwin has maintained a mission there, for which he deserves an honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity.

"Sonny" Gage has already settled for the winter at St. Petersburg, Fla. His address is 130 4th Ave.

Carl Corwin is still diligently striving to win religious converts. Many of '87 have doubtless received his letter that tells of the work and needs of his Hope Mission at Tampa, Florida. He specifies that it is "Fundamentalist," "Interdenominational," "Incorporated."

Carl says that he was eighty-two years old last June. "I am doing very little active physical work but I am thankful to be able to preach.

"This October 16 Mrs. Corwin and I hope to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary." He praises his help-mate to the highest, and quotes: "Whoso findeth a wife, findeth a good thing " (Some I suppose would say, "Yes, but Carl was lucky.")

Carl evidently believes that he is not on the "shady" side of eighty, but on the "sunny" side.
